Refs: | daijr:(後に打ち消しの語を伴って)強い確信や意思をもって否定する気持ちを表す。「―許さない」 shinmeikai: その判断が間違い無く成立すると主張することを表わす。「毎年負けてばかりいたが、今年は―〔=全く〕ちがっていた/―〔=決して〕そんな事は無い」 prog: 断然まちがっています That is definitely wrong. |
|
Comments: | Daijr added this sense in the 3rd edition. My initial thought was that it's too similar to sense 1 but the shinmeikai and prog examples above do look like a distinct sense. |

Comments: | I've sat on this for a while (as has everyone else...) Frankly, I think it's best as the two senses Robin set up in 2018. The refs are divided but two senses seem most common. |
